Co-supervisors


Digital provenance refers to the process of verifying and tracing the origins, lifecycle, and integrity of digital content. C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an initiative founded by multiple technology and media companies, aiming to address the increasing concern of misleading information and disinformation on the internet in the age of AI. The main objective of C2PA is to establish a standardized approach for digital content provenance, which essentially means tracing the origin and verifying the integrity of digital content.

Aim/outline

This project will investigate and evaluate enhancements to the security of digital provenance via the application of quantum-safe cryptographic schemes to integrate with C2PA standards.
